Psalm 21
1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation
how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden
the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of
days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou
laid upon him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the
most High he shall not be moved.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall
find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous
device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt
make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power.
